After many hours at O’Hare Airport…what fun…I am in Pittsburgh. Tomorrow is the first workshop, followed by what I expect to be many hours of chatting with fellow authors, followed by hunting down my editor to say hello. Yeah, it’s a busy day.
To celebrate the fact American Airlines got me here (as opposed [...]

Actually, I likely am in transit to Pittsburgh for the RT Convention as you read this. While I’m in the capable hands of the good folks at American Airlines [ahem], you have another chance to win a book. I started giving books away on Monday. You can check there for the rules. [...]

Alyssa (from Alyssa’s Book Blog) reviewed RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW and gave it 4.5 stars (out of a possible 5). She said lovely things, so I adore her. Actually, I pretty much adored her before this because she strikes me as a strong supporter of romance novelists, but now I just adore her [...]

He’s dying of pancreatic cancer. [...]

I’m a Meg Cabot fan. Don’t read much of her YA stuff, but do read her adult titles. I enjoy her voice. It’s flirty and funny. My favorite series of hers is over. At least I think it’s over. It’s the one with these titles: SIZE 12 IS [...]

Feeling better. Now trying to get caught up. And not succeeding…
A friend gave me an article from Newsweek about how you can design your own font. Yes, for those who do not like the million fonts out there, you can create your own. The article gave some examples of specially designed [...]

Feeling kind of crappy today. Woke up with a cold - sore throat and general bleck feeling. I’ve decided to spend the day lounging on the couch and feeling sorry for myself.

I am guest blogging with bam, known to some as Dionne (It’s Not Chick Porn) today. The topic is the Page 99 Rule. Don’t know what it is? Stop over and see.
